Veterans Program
WHERE VETERANS FIND SUPPORT THROUGH THE ARTS
Dr. Phillips Center’s Arts & Wellness Veterans Program provides free creative arts classes that help veterans and caregivers connect and build community. In partnership with the Orlando VA Healthcare System, the program offers drum circle, choir, spoken word and improv experiences designed to support wellness through the power of the arts.
Our Programs
DRUM CIRCLE
Create rhythm together using hand drums in a space for shared energy, connection and the power of sound. Reduce stress, improve coordination and boost mood through rhythmic movement and music.
CHOIR
Sing in harmony by blending voices, energy and emotion through music. Feel joy, lower stress and strengthen feelings of connection and belonging in this shared experience of making music as one.
IMPROV
Experience theater unscripted and let creativity, teamwork and humor take center stage. Build confidence, boost communication, lower stress and strengthen social bonds.
SPOKEN WORD POETRY
Express yourself with rhythm, storytelling and performance to share authentic experiences, feelings and ideas. Connect with others through stories, process emotions, find your voice and build confidence.
